Of Forests, Fields & Trees
by Pete Scopes
19/05/2011
What can be said about the differences of these three? A field is just a forest without any trees And a forest is a field which has severely overgrown And a tree is but a forest that wishes to be alone Now a field and a tree sometimes combine Beauty they...

Blue Skies Grace
by Pete Scopes
01/05/2011
Summer's blue has returned to us So brilliant is the sky I can barely look To admire the sun's radiance with Cotton dabbed white floating elegantly Winter's grey has finally fled and Spring's efforts have not gone unnoticed Now is the time to hold fast t...

The Dancing Girl
by Pete Scopes
01/05/2011
Dancing girl dancing girl let the scoffers mock Dancing girl dancing girl just don't ever stop Gracefully she spins upon a silver pinhead Pirouetting, weaving as delicately woven thread Her art is a tapestry, slowly does it build With each fluid motion ...

Growing Up
by Pete Scopes
19/04/2011
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tick tock The unstoppable ticking of life's clock Growing up is a most peculiar thing Watching as the world around you is shrinking When you are young time never passes When you are old it moves a whole lot faster Certain age...

Memories
by Pete Scopes
05/04/2011
Memories forgotten Memories past Memories distant And those fading fast Like dreams in the night rudely awoken Lost before they could ever be spoken Memories coming Memories gone Memories living And those lingering on Like marble statues crafted out of ro...

Let us Imagine
by Pete Scopes
28/03/2011
Let us imagine for a moment, if you dare, That we could forget the sun, no longer see the air That we are groping around in darkness which surrounds What would we think of light, would we think it profound? So I ask, where can you go to escape yours...

But...
by Pete Scopes
22/03/2011
A Summers day but Winters sun Rain fell down but clouds are gone Rainbow shines vivid but fades fast Gone too soon but Your promises last North winds blows followed by the South And I am full but ever feeding my mouth But there is no such rhym...

Shifting Shadows
by Pete Scopes
11/02/2011
Like shadows shifting amongst rustling reeds, My thoughts wonder with no particular path. Returning to where they began, As if in a mental labyrinth. She stands alone, bold & beautiful, Toying with me her smile lures me in. And again I turn my bac...

Tired of the same old Cliches
by Pete Scopes
11/02/2011
Finding a good man is like searching for a needle in a haystack And although good things come to those who wait It could be the case that it's too little too late But then again: never say never Even if it does take two to tango Don't forget two wr...

The Dark of the Day
by Pete Scopes
08/02/2011
Welcome to the dark of the day, Hope the fullness of shade will soon pass away. Riding moon to downward and fall, Pray the dawning moment overcomes all. That stars may fade in quickening might, In brilliance of the Fire blazing bright....

Shining Eyes
by Pete Scopes
29/11/2010
Diamonds in the darkness Orbs burning bright Flickers in the shadows Gold dust in the light Pawing through the bushes Rustling trodden leaves Stalking silent noises Pouncing as it please Hissing reticent whispers Fleeing from its sight Figur...

The Rising Ash/Follow the Firefly
by Pete Scopes
04/11/2010
Deep red, orange, crackle & pop. Tongues of fire lick the evening air, In contrast, blue-black sky at horizon stop. Fuller flames consuming thick logs brown. Floating gently on rising yellow wind, Blackening ash shows no sign of frown. Dancing f...

The Rolling River/The Nibble Stream
by Pete Scopes
19/10/2010
From humble beginnings in marshy plane, The waters spring to life joined by the rain; Casting forth sluggardly, slowly gaining pace, Droplets come together to begin the race. Twisting and turning frantically so, The stream sings aloud, the highs, t...

The Twilight Songbird
by Pete Scopes
09/09/2010
The twilight songbird spreads her delicate sings, The night opens as her calling softly begins. A melancholy tune to a lonely ear, A sonnet of love to a cheerful dear. Her song fills the still evening air, Her lover embarks to join her there. ...

A Smile That Weeps
by Pete Scopes
02/07/2010
A tear shed that speaks a thousand words, A smile that weeps a thousand tears. A word spoke into the darkness, The end and beginning so alike. In silence the wind whispers, And the ground reveals all. The heart trembles before the night, Mornings...

A Thought
by Pete Scopes
14/05/2010
Into this mind a thought entered, exciting but dangerous. It spoke of new ideas Of new paths and new hopes. The mind was scared and fear overwhelmed reason and it forgot. Hidden in secret biding its time, soon It was nothing more than a memory ...
